There is always Kuipto forest, thats a bit more trail/XC and quite good fun although limited in size. Plus there are heaps of backroads to explore on a 29er if you're into that kinda thing.

twice in a row now my orders have been very late and ive had to chase...have they had a change of management? ive been ordering for 8 years now and never had such crap as this....

Where are you? In Victoria you can get onto the departments of environment and primary industries website and use their forest explorer map service (just Google forest explorer) it shows all fire trails although some bits are out of date a little bit but it is useful. I imagine most states...

Lyme's disease is rare in Australia but it does exist...the important thing is to recognize the symptoms and get antibiotics quick. Keep an eye on your bites and if they develop a large distinctive red ring (google for images) around them and start to itch or get sore go to the doctor and TELL...

they are still there as far as i know. they will be upgraded next year to link into Bike Bullers 42 km epic that they have in the pipeline.

shimano shimano shimano! its not that avids are crap or anything its just shimanos are so much better for the money. More powerful, more reliable, easier to work with and generally cheaper. I ran avids for years and when i finally was convinced to try shimano there was lots of head slapping...

done, not just build new trails but make use of those tramways! they are awesome...9km descent anybody?

i bought one of the polygon hardtail 29ers earlier this year. I still cant believe the value every time i get on and ride it (Which has been heaps), its an awesome bike and one of the best bike purchases i ever made. Second hand is a minefield if you don't know what to look for. For peace of...

anybody want to develop a 'bike finder' where people can enter in budget, trail types, skill level etc and it recommends a bike?..
